Project Overview Numbers

Embedded Multi-core Systems for Mixed-Criticality Applications in Dynamic and Changeable Real-Time Environments – EMC2

(Artemis Innovation Pilot Project (AIPP)


Project Overview European Dimension


EMC2 – targets at European level

EMC2 targets

Reduce the cost of the system design by 15%

Reduce the effort and time required for re-validation

and recertification of systems after making changes by

15%

Manage a complexity increase of 25% with 10% effort

reduction

Achieve cross-sectorial reusability of Embedded

Systems devices and architecture platforms that will be

developed using the ARTEMIS JU results.


Economic Impact of EMC2

High impact of embedded systems to support and drive the innovation in many important market sectors:

Automotive: key sector for the European economy, 12 million jobs, 26 billion annual invest in R&D by European car manufacturers; positive contribution to trade balance of € 90 billion p.a.; embedded systems enable >90% of innovations.

Industrial control and factory automation: revenue of 16.5 B€; 30% of energy consumed in the world is used for electric motors. Large potential for energy saving;

Healthcare: represents 25% of the EU economy; Challenges related to improving efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare

Multicore technology as enabler for driving the innovation!


EMC2 a large-size project

Large Size platform project EMC2 encourages and catalyzes new consortia on EU level for product-oriented and successive funded projects

EMC2 Platform Project

New research-oriented funded projects

Product-related projects

New funded projects on specialized Topic


EMC2 Goals variable number of control units and unknown applications possible full range of dynamic changes possible

State of the art in Complexity and Dynamics: known number of control units and applications test before runtime Static scheduling of tasks, no dynamic changes at runtime

Cyberphysical System: Criticality, Complexity and Dynamics in Embedded Systems

EMC2 Goals: Handle mixed critical

applications on one single die

State of the art in Criticality: Handle different tasks in

separate hardware


What is unique about EMC2?

All domains: Home Automation through Automatic Driving

All areas: Sea, Land, Air and Space All driven by Embedded Computing All running a mix of applications All using Multi-Core ...

… but so far nobody knows how.

Question to you...

“Would you feel o.k. driving a car where one chip controls both critical and non-critical applications? “

Critical: ESP, Brakes

Non-critical: Window lift, Infotainment

If you don’t like it, it will either become expensive or low-performance
